As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward for tax purposes of $11,628,112 available to offset future taxable income. Most of the NOLs from its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 will expire in years 2022 to 2026 if not utilized. The NOL from the MM Global and MMBD Advisory as of December 31, 2021 will expire in years 2037 to 2041 if not utilized.

 

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The management believes that the Company’s cumulative losses arising from recurring business of subsidiaries constituted significant strong evidence that most of the deferred tax assets would not be realizable and this evidence outweighed the expectations that the Company would generate future taxable income. As such, deferred tax assets arise from net operating losses are fully allowed for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The increase in the allowance was $261,814, $118,826, and $137,203 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

The tax authority of the PRC government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises complete their relevant tax filings. Therefore, the Company’s PRC entities’ tax filings results are subject to change. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s PRC entities’ tax filings, which may lead to additional tax liabilities. Tax years that remain subject to examination are the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

ASC 740 requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that no provision for uncertainty in income taxes was necessary as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
